Is it possible to substitute the current footer with one that is more “standard” – higher with 3 columns?
Hi, yes you could add in a new footer but only if you are comfortable doing it. It’s too big a job for me to give you the code etc, but if you need some pointers I can help.
TC
Some pointers would be handy. I presume one could just build up some new footer code and point that section to the new footer include?
Hey, do you want to send me an email via our profile page, try and describe what you are hoping to achieve or give me an example. Let me know what features / functionality you want to include in the new footer.
I might tell you one thing, but it won’t work in the long run. So if you could do that for me, I’ll tell you.

I put there something like that:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-34633524-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + ’.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();</script>
After save, when I go to my website and choose “Show source code” should it be visible inside HEAD section? It’s not…
If you are using another page template, some of them do not include the header.php file, check the files starting with template-
The best way to add it to every page would be to add the following to the functions.php file
add_action('wp_head', 'mytheme_analytics');
function mytheme_analytics()
{
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
...analytics code...
</script>
<?php

Works with all pages instead of Left Note Block which is my start page.
Hello,
I try to use Google Analytics to see my page stats. I place an appropriate code from Google in header.php, but when I look at final page source code nothing is added. Any idea why?
Hi, Go to the Theme Options Panel – Global – Analytics and paste the code into the field provided.

Is it possible to add social media “like” “+1”, “tweet” to enlarged photos???
It’s possible to add HTML to the image captions, so you could add your share button HTML to the captions. I haven’t tested this so I can’t guarantee that it will work.

hi there, your theme is fantastic and i want to buy it before do that i have questions … is it ok with ” mlanguage” plugin for other languages in my site ? is it compatible with i-phone i-pad ? thanks …
It hasn’t been tested with mlanguage, however I think it will work fine.
It hasn’t been tested on iPhone or iPad by us, but some other users haven reported that it works fine. If you have a device, try going http://demos.themecatcher.net/storm-wordpress/ to test it out.

Just purchased the theme and did some quick setup. Uploaded a couple of background images, but nothing is showing? Is there anything specific which might stop background images showing?
Looking at the source, I can see that the background image is there, but it just isnt showing on the page.
Update: NM – looks like Minify plugin was causing an issue.
Hi,
I’m really interested in buying this theme – but just had a quick question first. Is it possible to add multiple galleries, or separate pages each with a gallery?
(I was thinking of using it for a series of artist portfolios – where I can add new artists – each with their own gallery of photos..)
Thanks a lot!
Tom
Yes, what you can do is set up categories for the portfolio items that you add. When using the portfolio shortcode, you can choose to only display items from a specific category.

Hi, great looking theme. Quick question, is the theme using Fancybox or Fancybox 2 as I like the view full-size feature found in Fancybox 2.
It’s using Fancybox 1, Fancybox 2 is not free for commercial use.

Hey,
I am searching for a theme with audio background music. Sound should not stop when the user is going to an other menu item. Is this possible with your theme?
many greetings sarah
It’s not possible with our theme, you would need to search for an Ajax based theme where loading another page would only load the content and not the entire page again.

Ok, I bought the theme. Best one I have bought so far. Every thing has been thought of!! I don’t know how to add the font I want though. Its called ‘PR Celtic Narrow’ and its a Cufon font.
1. Generate your Cufon file and upload it to themes/storm/fonts/
2. Open the file themes/storm/includes/framework.php and search for
// Cufon fontsOn the line below, insert a new array with your font details,
name should be set to the filename of the font before .font.js and family set to the font family. I’ve tested it with the font you mentioned just to make sure it works. This is the array I added in:'celtic' => array(
'type' => 'cufon',
'name' => 'PR_Celtic_Narrow_400',
'family' => 'PR Celtic Narrow'
),
3. Go to the theme options panel Global -> Fonts and choose PR Celtic Narrow from the drop down menu.

Aloha TC,
is there an option or workaround for mass import or mass adding portfolio pages instead of creating every portfolio page one by one?
This would be awesome! 
Thanks in advance! Micha
Not yet Micha, but we will probably add this in a future update.

Awesome, the youtube and vimeo above work awesome…
Last question though, is it possible to do the above (have it play the video then go to home page) but also say randomly choose from a list of 10 youtube or vimeo videos???? This way the into will always potentially be slightly different for returning people?
Awesome theme, super support HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking to purchase a theme. Will buy from you easily again and again
Thanks for the feedback.
It is possible to do this, but it would require some modifications to the theme files. If you don’t mind waiting a week or two I will release an update where this is better supported. I’ll get back to you when it’s out.
Regards, TC
The theme update is now live. You can download the updated version from your Downloads tab on ThemeForest.
I’ve added a help section on how to create random background videos, in the documentation under How Do I … ? -> Set up random videos.

Hi, Theme looks to be awesome. I want to buy but I need to check if the font can be changed to a custom font which I can install?
Ta.
Yes. You can add new Google/Cufon fonts by modifying one of the theme files, I can give you the code if you tell me if it’s a Cufon or Google want you want to add.

Is there any way to change the color of the theme itself… Im looking for a different style more that shows more happy/outgoing… So is there any way to change the style color easily or would I need to do some changes in the html/php files?
You can change fonts and background color in the Options panel, but I think you want more…
If you are talking about changing the dark background colors then it would be a case of going through elements in the CSS and changing background colors. You would have to change background images as well which are set up for a dark background, the header for example is a repeated image.
It’s hard to say exactly the work level involved, it depends on how many elements you have which will decide how much you need to change to make it look good.
It’s a dark theme and wasn’t designed to be changed, but it can be done of course. That’s all I can say. Hope that helps.

Totally loving this theme. It’s a dream to build with. One of the best I’ve used. Quick question. Can I make a post sticky so it’s always first?
We’re glad to here 
If you go to Posts in the WP main menu, Click Quick Edit on your Post, you will see a tick box Option for Make this post sticky. Tick it.
We have used high quality glue so it will not become unstuck, unless you un-tick the box.

I’d really like to get this theme for a client who is a writer but I have a couple of questions. 1.She’d like to have a poem display on the front page over the main image. Is this possible? 2. Does the them use different blog categories so I can split the output over different pages?
1. Yes, the home page on our demo is a page template (called Left note block), this means you can create a page looking like this and choose this template then easily change the content inside the transparent content area to include the poem, if that suits?
2. Yes blog categories are supported.
Regards, TC
Bought the theme…. one last question… can I have an intro page that after the video loops it goes to the main page/menu instead of stopping on a grey background?
If it’s a Vimeo video, get the unique page ID and add the following code to the functions.php file.
add_filter('tcr_singular-page-20_video_vimeo', 'mytheme_set_video_options', 10, 1);
function mytheme_set_video_options($video)
{
$video['complete'] = 'redirect';
$video['redirect'] = 'http://www.example.com/homepage';
return $video;
}Change the number 20 on the first line to your page ID and change the redirect URL to suit. Now in the file js/scripts.js search for the following code:player.addEvent('finish', function () {
if (tcrL10n.video.complete == 'restart') {and change the code to beplayer.addEvent('finish', function () {
if (tcrL10n.video.complete == 'redirect' && tcrL10n.video.redirect) {
window.location = tcrL10n.video.redirect;
} else if (tcrL10n.video.complete == 'restart') {Regards, TC
If it’s a YouTube video, get the unique page ID and add the following code to the functions.php file.
add_filter('tcr_singular-page-20_video_youtube', 'mytheme_set_video_options', 10, 1);
function mytheme_set_video_options($video)
{
$video['complete'] = 'redirect';
$video['redirect'] = 'http://www.example.com/homepage';
return $video;
}Change the number 20 on the first line to your page ID and change the redirect URL to suit. Now in the file js/scripts.js search for the following code:if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.ENDED) {
if (tcrL10n.video.complete == 'restart') {and change the code to beif (event.data == YT.PlayerState.ENDED) {
if (tcrL10n.video.complete == 'redirect' && tcrL10n.video.redirect) {
window.location = tcrL10n.video.redirect;

Hi ThemeCatcher,
great looking theme!
I would like to place vertical fullscreen images. At the moment the pictures are not scaled an cut on the top and bottom. Is there an option to handle this or a way to find a solution by a workaround?
thanks! Micha
Can you create a landscape sized base image then place the portrait image in the center then it should work properly.
Regards, TC
last question before i buy….
can i have a video background on every page? Such as the contact page and the portfolio page?
Yes you can. When you add / edit a page in WP, there are options for that individual page under the text editor. Add the video there.
TC
